580 Alnico Extra. The EXTRA has more to give
580 Alnico ExtraThe 580 is a great pickup but we felt it needed a companion bridge model, so we created the 580 Alnico Extra. It has higher output that balances well with the 580 in the neck, volume-wise as well as tone-wise making it the perfect companion. And, both-on-together gives a surprising huge 'c-luck' with extreme dynamic range. Yup, a pair of these will definitely put you in Sonic Nirvana, you really should try these wonderful pickups. Apart from they are very similar pickups and available with all the same options such as our new 'Universal' soapbar covers in genuine Gibson Cream, Warm White, Old Ivory and Black, click the option when ordering. A must for Gibson guitars! Indulge yourself in the Concert Grand Piano of the pickup world.Additional benefits: Both versions are highly resistant to mushing and blurring on the low wound strings when played hard, especially in chord formation. Suitable for Soap-bar covers (included) and for use under existing Dog-Ear covers. See "Covers" below in the Technical section. Introduced September 2023

Technical & Application info:
Pickup adjustment As with all Kinman Gen-2 pickups they are very sensitive to height adjustment. A good starting point so the basic balance is with the two E strings fretted at the 15th fret, adjust as follows ... and after listening further adjust to your personal taste.
Installation When replacing an original Gibson 480 two new screw holes must be drilled in the floor of the cavity because our 580 has the mounting screws of a P-90. Cavity for original Gibson 480 is suitable, no modification required. We use fixed Alnico-K** rod magnets, not individually adjustable Alnico-5 blocks as the 480 has. But, consider including our optional non-magnetic mounting plate kit, it makes install fast n easy because you don't have to drill holes in the precise position for the pickups mounting screws. Do NOT use original Gibson mounting plates, being magnetic will dramatically compromise the hum cancelling ability of the P-90 Hx.
Epiphones Kinman’s will bring your Epiphone to life because they achieve the maximum sonic potential of the guitar, and are easier to install than practically all other brands too because of our Easy Install Kit for f-hole guitars. Comprehensive, easy to do step-by-step instructions provided. Refer to the Overview Tab >Epiphone f-hole talk. More in Pole Spreads, next item .... Connections
